Clinical Focus
Dr. Bartley practices comprehensive general dentistry with particular emphasis on:
Conservative restorative care.
Preserving natural tooth structure whenever possible, with precise fillings, bonded repairs, and tooth-colored restorations.
Cosmetic dentistry.
Porcelain veneers, Zoom teeth whitening, bonding, and full smile design with an emphasis on natural-looking, balanced results.
Implant restoration.
Designing, milling, and placing custom ceramic crowns in a single visit using on-site CAD/CAM technology.
CEREC same-day crowns.
Preserving natural tooth structure whenever possible, with precise fillings, bonded repairs, and tooth-colored restorations.
Preventive care
Leading the practice’s preventive philosophy, because the healthiest restoration is the one a patient never needs.
Approach to Patient Care
Dr. Bartley’s approach rests on three principles. First, every recommendation should be explainable. If she suggests a procedure, she can show you the X-ray, intraoral photo, or clinical finding that supports it. Second, patients should never feel rushed. Appointments are scheduled with enough time for questions, concerns, and thorough treatment. Third, cost should never be a surprise. Written treatment plans and insurance verification come before any work begins. See our finance and insurance page for how this works in
practice.
She is particularly attentive to anxious patients. For those who need extra support, nitrous oxide and oral conscious sedation are available, and she is known for a gentle injection technique that many patients say was the easiest numbing they have ever experienced.
